ADVERTISING CUT OFF FOR NEXT ISSUE 17 JUNE 2020, 5 PM

Town Crier Berry advertising information

Why advertise in the Berry Town Crier?

The Town Crier is a community newspaper produced monthly by the Berry Alliance. Our current circulation is 2400 copies. The Town Crier is distributed around Berry and its outer lying areas. Additional copies are given to shops, cafes, hairdressing salons, doctors and restaurants within the township to alert tourists as to what’s happening in Berry.

The Berry Alliance would like to thank advertisers for their support. It is only through advertising fees, subscriptions and sponsorships that our community paper can continue to provide such communication. The Town Crier is not funded from any other source. We receive no grants or public funding.
